A comprehensively revised and reorganized study of the anatomy of bones and joints, with improved organization, new diagrams, updated illustrations, and greater emphasis on functional and clinical anatomy.
Osteology & Arthrology: Anatomy of Bones and Joints presents a systematic study of the human skeleton and its articulations. In this Second Edition, Osteology and Arthrology-previously published as separate books in the First Edition-have been brought together into a single integrated volume.
This edition has been substantially reorganized to provide a clearer and more logical progression from bones to joints and supporting structures. The content is arranged regionally and systematically, allowing students to understand the relationship between skeletal structures and their articulations more easily.
The visual presentation has also been significantly improved, with new and redesigned anatomical diagrams and illustrations throughout the book. These visual additions are intended to make complex structures, articulations, movements, and anatomical relationships easier to understand and revise.
The book covers the fundamental principles of osteology, followed by detailed study of the axial and appendicular skeleton. It then progresses to arthrology, covering the classification and anatomy of joints throughout the body.
Joint anatomy is presented using a structured approach that includes, where applicable:
- Introduction
- Classification
- Articular surfaces
- Capsule
- Ligaments
- Synovial membrane
- Movements
- Muscles producing movements
- Blood supply
- Nerve supply
- Relations
- Surface anatomy
- Biomechanics
- Radiological anatomy
- Clinical anatomy
- Applied anatomy
- Osteology and Arthrology combined into one volume
- Better organization and restructuring of the content
- New anatomical diagrams and illustrations
- Redesigned visual presentation for improved understanding
- Systematic coverage of the axial and appendicular skeleton
- Detailed regional study of joints
- Functional and biomechanical approach to joint movements
- Clinical, applied, surface, and radiological anatomy
- Designed for systematic study and examination revision
Topics include the skull, vertebral column, ribs and sternum, upper and lower limb bones, cranial and vertebral joints, thoracic joints, shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand joints, hip, knee, ankle and foot joints, as well as ligaments, tendons, bursae, aponeuroses, and fascia.
Designed for medical, dental, physiotherapy, nursing, allied health, and other healthcare students, this volume provides a comprehensive foundation for understanding the structure and function of the human musculoskeletal system.
This Second Edition represents a significant revision of the First Edition, with improved organization, integrated Osteology and Arthrology, and a substantially enhanced collection of anatomical diagrams and illustrations.
